That's '1 in 10 Icelanders will write and publish at least one novel at some point in their life', not 'one book written for every 10 Icelanders'.
It's a stat you'll see floating around the internet, though I haven't seen the ultimate source.
Yes it’s deliberately worded to be vague it could really mean either with no source, I did some research and most of what I found was multiple books are being published by people, with that same 1/10 being repeated, didn’t look into publishing rates or anything yet though.
